Turkey Fontina Romesco Sandwich on Brioche

with Romesco sauce, red onion, and mixed greens

There are days when I come home and I just need something quick because I’m STARVING! But my opinionated, snobbish taste-buds stubbornly refuse to “settle” for something boring and ordinary. I spend the time on the drive home thinking “what is IN my fridge and how on earth am I going to make something wonderful happen before I faint from hunger?”

So this was a sandwich born of one of those “food emergency” states for me. Pair a good bread (so glad I made those lovely Brioche buns) and a great sauce (Romesco yeah baby!) along with an amazing cheese (my beloved Fontina), that’s almost all you need. I toasted the bun, melted the cheese over some smoked turkey, topped with red onion and greens and that was all I needed to calm my hunger emergency and make my persnickety taste buds quite pleased as well.

2. Bake at 400 for 8 – 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the top of the bun is toasted.
